dc.description.abstractIn the EU-funded BRAVA project, technologies for a fuel cell-based power generation system for aviation are being developed. In this paper, the test results for a demonstrator of a novel two-phase pumped cooling system with 20 kW cooling capacity are presented. This system uses the evaporation of a liquid to remove waste heat from the heat sources. Several concepts have been tested with this demonstrator, including the ‘no accumulator’ concept, which offers a large mass reduction compared to conventional cooling systems. Additionally, the system can be rotated, and the influence of the orientation has been tested.
